Vraag Re: I just looked not tested with film is not buying. A reaso... in Verkopen op eBay

Dropping prices won't sell nothing, getting very frustrated, what do I miss?

I offer photography related aricles at a tenth of the prices I see everywhere, also in the sold listings department. I get frustrated more and more, dropping prices to a perhaps suspiciously low level. Just a guess, Am I too honest in getting into details about the conditions, or are people put off by my accompaniyng text, that's too long, or sounds to advertisement like, or are they put off by whatever the case may be. Or is it the wrong period to offer objects for sale, because people finished spending their monthly payment?

I'm totally inexperienced, I've sold 6 objects, I would greatly appreciate ANY advice, thanks beforehand, and more luck in selling than me, not a tough job...

kind regards,

Fred

I just looked not tested with film is not buying. A reason for me.
I also looked at others that have been tested so expensive but I'd go for that. My tip to you test them once a film in it. On a non-usable device nobody has anything how beautiful it looks like.

Hey, thanks for your reply! I see a lot of objects that are not tested, and have out of proportion asking prices too, I guess those must be interesting to camera-repair persons, or a handy, somewhat experienced hobbyist.. But I put some price-dropped 100 % tested camera's on sale, but nobody's interested unless you practically give them away.. Maybe I should go for the "send to auction" option?

Start being a buyer only and collect a few hundred feedbacks, only then start selling.

Thanks, another useful tip. I feel quite vulnerable by selling , nogmeerwinst, for bad feedback, but selling really good stuff for a little money helps, as well as very fast service. I've had one conflict with a buyer, but we settled on a satisfactory agreement, and then there's the "the best seller on the world",.Or when buying: " the best customer I've ever had (of the million plus), well, it's a "dangerous" game I guess. Thanks!
